Abstract

The new global tectonics and sea-floor spreading hypotheses imply downwarping and descent of the lithosphere in island-arc regions. These downgoing slabs of crust and upper-mantle material will affect the local temperature regime. Geophysically observable variables of surface-heat flux and gravity and seismic travel times will be influenced by the temperature. Using a quasi-dynamic computational scheme and a finite difference solution of the conservation of energy equation we have determined the effects of spreading rate, adiabatic compression, radioactivity, phase changes, and strain heating on the temperature regime of a downgoing slab. Effects of these parameters on surface heat flux, gravity anomalies, and local seismic travel time are also estimated. Predicted travel-time anomalies show good agreement with observed anomalies in Japan and Tonga-Kermadec. Several implications on the localized mechanical behavior of the upper mantle and the evolution of a downwarping slab are made on the basis of our computational results.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
